There’s a lot of talk about “redneck” and military culture and all that, because her brother basically raised her, but it’s just very strange. Plus, she seems more comfortable with all the military jargon than a scientist (who can afford one of the nicest houses I’ve ever seen) ought to be. Photo: Apple TV+Įcho 3, I gotta say, is really, really odd. The brother-sister relationship drawn between Luke Evans and Jessica Ann Collins is borderline sexual. Chandor was already one of our most boring filmmakers, so that’s not on Boal.) Echo 3: Very strange relationships and military culture But the relationship between Amber (Jessica Ann Collins) and her brother Bambi is just … off-the-charts bizarre. (He also helped turn director Kathryn Bigelow from one of our best artists into someone boringly literal, which was a huge bummer.
His worst scripts - passages of Zero Dark Thirty, Triple Frontier, Detroit - veer wildly from hyper-violent, jingoistic conjecture to utter banality. When Boal decides to really swing for the fences and editorialize and say something, he gets lost in the weeds. At their best, they’re pretty simple procedural movies. Elah and Hurt Locker work because they’re very bare-bones screenplays given to directors with little interest in sensationalism and more concern for texture and verisimilitude in their depictions of the soldiering life. The trouble is … Boal isn’t really all that creative. Hence the creation and truncation of characters in Zero Dark Thirty, another film Boal wrote.
Plus, you don’t need to tell things exactly the way they happened if you can dream up a more interesting way to depict things. It’s not surprising that he made the switch from nonfiction to movies. military in Iraq, and he leveraged this into hit, award-winning movies like In the Valley of Elah and The Hurt Locker. He wrote about men who couldn’t fit back into civilian life after being embedded with the U.S. Mark Boal was a journalist who used to tell really grim and upsetting stories about America’s foreign interventions. Mark Boal and military dramas The relationship between brother-in-laws Prince (played by Michiel Huisman, left) and Bambi (Luke Evans) is weird enough. When Prince and Bambi discover she’s been kidnapped along with her colleagues, the two men hitch a ride down there themselves to see what happened and save her. What she neglected to tell her husband is that she does a little work on the side for the CIA. She’s only there three days before she gets kidnapped, along with her co-workers, by a local militia. Each guy blames the other for what happened to their comrade, and that’s the note they leave it on when Amber goes down to South America to do research into drugs. Prince gets bent out of shape about it when he comes back. So, when their next mission goes awry and Prince winds up stranded from the rest of the unit, Bambi makes sure to save him after they’ve completed their objective, which leads to another member of their unit getting killed. Her most important words to her brother on her wedding day are, “Make sure my husband comes back from these missions you all go on.” He left their wedding to go deal with a hostage situation with the rest of his unit – though you do have to wonder what exactly Amber assumed was going to happen when she married a guy like this. However, now that she’s got another jarhead looking after her, he’s going to have to figure out what their relationship means. Some of that is his militaristic, comrades-first attitude toward the world, and some of it is he knows no one else will keep her safe. Their parents are all disappointing, which maybe explains why Bambi is extremely close to Amber. Prince met Amber through Bambi, and the weirdness of their circumstances being so different never quite went away.
Her new husband, Prince (Michael Huisman), and her brother Alex, aka Bambi (Luke Evans), both have military backgrounds. She was a scientist working along the Colombia-Venezuela border, and the scene left in the wake of her disappearance is not encouraging. Season 1, episodes 1 to 3: As Echo 3 kicks off, Amber Chesborough (played by Jessica Ann Collins) has gone missing.
